Misdiagnosis in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Cause Deaths

Our lawyers who handle medical malpractice cases in Michigan often represent families of patients who have died or suffered serious injuries due to a misdiagnosis while in the intensive care unit in a hospital. A misdiagnosis can lead to a delay in necessary treatment and this can result in significant injury or harm to the patient. In many instances, a misdiagnosis can be fatal and lead to the death of the patient.

In a medical malpractice lawsuit alleging the misdiagnosis of a patient, the patient must also prove that a proper and timely diagnosis would have resulted in a better medical outcome. That is, with a proper diagnosis, the patient could have received appropriate treatment and avoided additional injury. Expert medical testimony is required to prove that part of the case.
